NSA Phone Records From Search Warrants

Folks, the news broke by USA Today last month regarding NSA phone records (my original post on the matter is here) is not what the liberal media was spun by their cowardly, leaking sources (or are possibly co-spinning themselves). Please direct your attention to this statement by the US Attorney General today: In the interview, […]

Hayden Cleaning House At CIA

You can tell when something is afoot in the CIA in terms of rooting out the leakers and liars – they run to the liberal media screaming about horror stories so they can become branded as ‘whistleblowers’. I see Hayden didn’t waste much time as the rats are jumping ship and screaming to the gullible […]

USSC Slaps Leakers – Little Protection

The New York Times, Washington Post and other media outlets are going to see a serious cutback in leaks coming from government sources on the news coming out of the US Supreme Court: The Supreme Court today narrowed the First Amendment protections for public employees who reveal perceived wrongdoing they happen to observe in the […]

NSA Leak Hits Congress

Hat Tip to Mac Ranger on this CNN report regarding the focus on Congress as the source of the leaks to the NY Times regarding the NY Times story. Recall that the original leaks occurred a year before the story broke last fall – so the leak happened during or prior to December ’04: The […]

Final Warning Shot To The News Media?

I am guessing that the administration is sending a signal to the news media with these comments: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Sunday he believes journalists can be prosecuted for publishing classified information, citing an obligation to national security. The nation’s top law enforcer also said the government will not hesitate to track telephone calls […]

ABC Might Be Target of Leak Investigation

Mac Ranger’s summer of fun with the fourth estate may be perculating a bitter stronger now. Mac has been hearing behind the scenes that the investigations started when the NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program will bear fruit this summer. Is it possible the NSA phone database story was a red herring, put out to leakers and […]

News Media Clueless On Phones

Mac Ranger posted on this post by ABC reporters who are finally getting the hint that leaking national security information to terrorists (which is where it goes when the media exposes it) will end.  What was so funny was the igorance of these people: A senior federal law enforcement official tells ABC News the government […]

WaPo Conceals McCarthy’s Rogue Buddies

In the Washington Post article I discussed in this previous post, the one where the independent minded, maverick Mary McCarthy all of sudden decided not to alert Congress to problems but instead anonymously (thus losing the clout of her position) tell the media, the WaPo relied on anonymous friends to vouch for her strange behavior.

Mary McCarthy Admits Her Maverick Ways

*** Update: interesting look at one of the NSC sources in the WaPo article and his ties to the leftward fringes *** Looks like Mary McCarthy and the rogue CIA agents, along with the news media (and an out of control prosecutor?) have decided the time is right to admit she was just trying to […]
